Ingredients:
For the Cakes:
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons matcha powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
For Garnish:
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh mint leaves
Instructions:
- Prepare the Matcha Mixture:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips and butter in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Stir in matcha powder until fully incorporated.
- Make the Batter:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Gradually mix in the matcha mixture.
- Fold in the flour until just combined.
- Prepare the Ramekins:
- Grease four small ramekins or silicone molds with butter. Pour the batter evenly into the molds.
- Cook in the Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the ramekins in the air fryer basket and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers are still jiggly.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the cakes cool for 1–2 minutes before carefully inverting onto serving plates. Garnish with powdered sugar and fresh mint leaves.
Notes:
- Storage: Best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated gently.
- Variations: Add a splash of vanilla extract or sprinkle chopped pistachios on top for extra flavor and texture.
- Tip: Avoid overbaking to ensure the lava center remains gooey.
